Summer 2012 Summer of the AJ XII (topics merged)

Really not feeling that Orange on the cool Grey's so those are an Easy pass for me. I'd rather buy at least 2 pairs of the playoffs & Obsidians instead

Look how the tab matches, I should say, doesn't match up with the midsole. Yikes!

I'm actually looking forward to seeing these in person:

 Hes saying "joke or serious" because those Taxis pictured are OGs not retros. 
The Jumpman tab has always been slightly off, on every pair. Sometimes it's on point, sometimes it's not. I like it tho. Fakes are usually spot on

Just copped the Nubuck on ebay.  Now i gotta wait for the Playoff and the Obsidian.  Pass on Greys and not sure yet about the Taxis.  This year is gonna get expensive for me.

However, if you think anything put out by JB in 2012(cardboard leather, no ankle support,etc) might be better quality than 04, it might not be worth discussing with you.

Ok you got me on that, I was OD for that

But I had 3 pairs of OG 12s and bought the 2004 12s. The OGs are much better quality in my opinion. 

And I balled in 3 of my pairs (2 OGs pairs and the 2004s playoffs). My og taxis and og black/red took a beaten and held together. Where as my 2004s did even make it through one season of intramural ball, torn upper and sole detachment. 
I think you might be right about the OGs holding up better when hooping.  Still, the materials(leather, etc) on the 04s is on point.  I was wearing mine today and they are just so comfortable around the tongue and ankle area.

   I never hooped in any of my 04s though, so I can't say for sure.

Can someone tell me why the Playoffs and Obsidians have chrome eyelits? They should not be chrome, but a more dull finish like the og's and first retros.

I think someone mentioned before that they are plastic now. That might explain the difference in finish.

no taxi's for me, but i'll take everything else thank you. This is shaping up to be by far my most JB new release-heavy year of collecting
